SKIPPY YIPPEE!®
I've been called a lot of things, but I've never been called a "helicopter mom." That's probably because the only way to survive with me as your mother is to have a healthy sense of self-preservation and the motivation to fend for yourself.
That pretty much explains why it's Alexis who tells me when it's time to leave for school and not the other way around. She reminds me to sign her homework every morning. She tells me how to make schedules work. She's basically the responsible adult in our equation, which YAY! That means I don't have to be!
Okay, so I do. She's not old enough to drive just yet, so I still have to be the person who runs to the store for groceries and such. When she is old enough to drive, I'm willing to bet she will happily volunteer to do the grocery runs because she will happily go spend all of my money on these.
SKIPPY® P.B. Bites.
You guys. YOU GUYS. We got them for review purposes, but they are quickly becoming a permanent part of our lives. There are two flavors -- Pretzel and Double Peanut Butter and YOU GUYS. Double Peanut Butter. They are peanut butter wrapped in peanut butter and how can they be anything other than amazing?
They're so amazing that I hid a container. Shhh! Do not tell the small people, but there's a container of SKIPPY® P.B. Bites Double Peanut Butter stashed at the top of a pantry shelf because I might need them. I don't want to share. I am very excited about having a little stash of delicious snacks that are easy to get into and that don't leave behind a tell-tale mess.
Why, yes, I am the sort of mom who ducks into the pantry and eats food she doesn't want to share. So what? It is only fair, after all, since Alexis hid the SKIPPY® P.B. Bites Pretzel in her dance bag.
OH YES. SHE DID.
She thinks I don't know, but I am fully aware that she stashed them so she could grab a snack on the go without having to share.
That not sharing this is working out well for her.
That motivation to fend for themselves thing is working well, obviously.

Children? Nay. As a single woman, I'm always looking for on the go snacks; for travel, at work or during my commute on the bus!
While schlepping my kids to baseball practice, bells choir and Boy Scout events!
We will take Skippy P.B. Bites on a summer road trip this year.
They enjoy them as snacks while at home.

They'd enjoy it as an afternoon snack at home.

They enjoy them as snacks on road trip
I'm going to put a third into my toddler's reach-in cup so she can snack while toting it around. I'm going to put a third in a tall stack for the preschooler to enjoy. I'm going to put a third in my mouth, without any clever presentation.
My kids will enjoy SKIPPY® P.B. Bites as a snack right after coming home from school after they have done their extracurricular activities! These P.B. Bites taste so good!

Kids? Pfffft! These would be perfect for my snack lady drawer!
I don't have children of my own but the neighbor kids stop in quite often to visit. This would be a perfect snack to have on hand for those occasions.
We enjoy them with apple slices! Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

Ohhhh..... These will be FANTASTIC when we road trip to Myrtle for Spring Break at the end of next month. Not to mention, I am always looking for quick snacks to stock in the pantry that Madaline can grab on her own.
Children? I will enjoy them on the hour long ride home from work every day to hold me until dinner.
It would be a great snack to take with us on a day at the park. I know my son would love having it and I would grab it cause it is a healthy snack.
These will be great for after swim class.
My kids would enjoy the PB Bites when we go on a nature walk at our local lake.

These are perfect for lunch boxes!
if by "how will your children enjoy" these new fantastic creations you actually mean "how will i enjoy" the new skippy pb bites, i will enjoy them on my couch, hiking, and at my desk. maybe even in my suv.
peanut butter wrapped in peanut butter sounds great.
I'd love to pack them in the car for a snack on the way to the park!

I think this would be a great snack to bring along to the zoo or park.

My child wouldn't enjoy these because she has a strange aversion to peanut butter. However, I would love them and would probably take the snack to work.

Definitely on the go!
In this house, Skippy P.B. Bites will be the perfect mid-afternoon snack, whether here at home or on the go. They seem like the perfect size to fend off that hunger between lunch and dinner.

My daughter is grown but is a boomarang child, currently back at mom's. She actually will love these at night when we are chillin watching our favorite shows.
We would enjoy PB Bites on road trips this summer!
